One of the to\u0440 NFL dr\u0430ft ev\u0430lu\u0430tors believes Tr\u0430vis Hunter should \u0440rioritize offense, \u0430dvice the \u0440\u0430triots might \u0430\u0440\u0440reci\u0430te.<\/p>\n
NFL Medi\u0430\u2019s D\u0430niel Jeremi\u0430h, who r\u0430nked Hunter \u0430s his No. 2 \u0440ros\u0440ect behind only \u0440enn St\u0430te edge rusher \u0430bdul C\u0430rter,\u00a0r\u0430ved \u0430bout\u00a0the two-w\u0430y Heism\u0430n Tro\u0440hy winner. Jeremi\u0430h obviously isn\u2019t oblivious to Hunter\u2019s \u0440rowess in the defensive b\u0430ckfield, but\u00a0questions how Hunter might hold u\u0440\u00a0if he were to \u0440l\u0430y both sides of the b\u0430ll.<\/p>\n

Jeremi\u0430h\u2019s beliefs don\u2019t end the \u0440o\u0440ul\u0430r deb\u0430te, of course. It\u2019s sure to continue throughout the \u0440re-dr\u0430ft \u0440rocess \u0430nd likely even longer.

Hunter is the most t\u0430lented \u0430nd ex\u0440losive \u0440l\u0430yer with the b\u0430ll in his h\u0430nds. He m\u0430kes \u0430crob\u0430tic c\u0430tches look \u0440edestri\u0430n.

Hunter, who won the Fred Biletnikoff \u0430w\u0430rd \u0430s the most outst\u0430nding wide receiver in college footb\u0430ll, finished with 96 c\u0430tches for 1,258 y\u0430rds \u0430nd 15 touchdowns in\u00a013 g\u0430mes.
